This is how Francia Márquez and Gustavo Petro pledged not to expropriate in case of becoming President

Francia Márquez uploaded a video to her social networks showing her commitment to Colombia not to expropriate property from citizens in the event of an eventual arrival at Casa de Nariño.

On Tuesday, Gustavo Petro and his vice-presidential formula, Márquez, decided to show the country their intentions and put an end to what has been one of their biggest criticisms by their political opponents, the alleged expropriation that Petro as a left-wing leader would do to Colombians.

Given this, the duo decided to make a written and notarized commitment to give a piece of peace of mind to citizens who think that such a possibility exists in case Petro becomes president.

In the video you can hear the document to France read in which, after saying her full name, she continues: “I undertake under the gravity of oath, under the law and under deep respect for the constitution and the law, as vice president of all Colombians, I will not expropriate the wealth and property of their owners, I will not expropriate, I will not go to expropriate anything or anyone”.

“Before notary 17, we signed a document, in which we commit ourselves to Colombia that we will NOT EXPROPRIATE ANYONE”, the policy put in the Twitter post.

Petro was joined by her and behind them a group of re-elected senators such as Gustavo Bolivar and María José Pizarro, among others.

Petro, who has been the target of criticism these days for his phrase about “social forgiveness”, lowers the spirits of the electoral contest as he seeks to be able to advance his campaign to attract the largest number of people as voters on May 29.

The congressman made it clear that he signs “knowing the legal implications of the false oath and I manifest that I have no legal impediment to do so”, but he also established that he could legally expropriate as long as the fact that it is “for the benefit of the community and through prior compensation”, he assured in that Petro moment.

Likewise, the comments on the symbolic act of going to the notary's office to sign under oath a commitment, the followers and opponents did not miss the moment to send a message about it:

On the other hand, it can be read that criticism and suggestions came about what the leader of the Historical Pact should commit to if he is President of the Republic:
